L. Remington, there is shown and described a holder for yarn packages wound 011 conical shells, this holder being characterized by a conical body providing ribs of frictional material to engage the inner surfaces of the conical shells carrying the packages. In use, holders of the above described type are most effective only when n the taper of the holder body is'substantially the same as the taper of the conical shell supported thereon, and the object of the present invention is to provide an improved holder that is adapted to support package carrying shellshaving different tapers. I

lVhen forming packages of filamentary material having such widely difiering characteristics as various grades of artificial silk of the rayon type, it has been found neces sary to considerably vary the taper of the conical shells on which the packages are built,so that it is desirable to be able to support shells having different tapers on the same creel or package stand. According to the present invention, there is provided an improved holder for yarn packages that will frictionally support conical shells having a considerable variation in their taper, as will hereinafter more fully appear from the fol lowing description with reference to the ac- I companying drawing, in which c Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional view of a holder with an emptyshell or cone about to be mounted thereo Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view along the line 2-2 of Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows.
